“I thought [Driskel] forced 4-5 balls where in some situations you check the ball down or you take the ball somewhere else," Muschamp said. "He had four drops.

“But Jeff needs to play better, he understands that. He certainly forced some things that we can’t afford to do, and especially on two of the interceptions. Jeff gives us the best opportunity to win right now.”

Driskel, a senior, has completed 56 percent of his passes overall this season for 636 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions. He played in just three games in an injury-shortened 2013 season but threw for 1,646 yards, 12 touchdowns and five interceptions in 12 games in 2012.
